Will I Ever Find Real Friends?

The Story

Hello. I am a 17-year-old girl from a small village. (The story may seem a bit childish and silly, but I just don't have anyone to turn to anymore and I'll be very happy if you help me with some advice or your opinion). Ever since I was a child, I have always been a super closed, anxious child. In all the years that have passed, I have always been isolated in an "congested" area. When I was 3, our divorced, my mother went abroad for work to support us, and I did not see any help from my father. I live with my grandparents and my uncle's family. In kindergarten, as far as I remember, I did not communicate with anyone, I was constantly roaring, it was difficult and lonely. When I went to school for the first 3 years, I did not have contact with my classmates in the same way. My self-esteem was at level 0, because I was much bigger than the others and subsequently I was isolated. In fourth grade, I entered puberty, I befriended a girl (let's call it "C") from my class, who I didn't like, but I had no other choice, because otherwise I would have hung out for 7 hours a day alone. After 1/2 year I became more sociable and found another friend "E", with whom we were super close.

My classmates began to pay more attention to me, but apparently at that time I did not think much about my friends, and it was important not to be alone. So at the end of 8th grade we organized an excursion for the last time, where my whole class agreed to gather in a room to have fun, but of course I was not invited. I started high school in a nearby town. In the 9th I was friends only with my friend "C", who turned out to be a big user and at the beginning of the 10th I decided to just dump her. It was one of my hardest years, in which I began to despair and depression. Despite all my efforts to make friends with everyone, they avoided me, I tried to share with my cousins, but they just didn't pay attention to me, and although we lived under one roof, they got together with friends and went to discos without inviting me. tonal ruined me. I decided to turn to my mother, but this turned out to be an even bigger mistake. Despite her support, one day she was fed up with the constant roar and shouting on the phone, she had nothing to do and advised me to give up my education and stay at home. I got sick, I was in the hospital, no one visited me except my cousins, who were forced. Loneliness was slowly killing me, I was already thinking about the worst. I shared it with a former classmate from the village who saw me crying several times at school ("A") with whom we were in the same class again. I managed to make friends with her, we formed a group, in general, she pulled me out of despair. But after a while, I started to notice that I was used again and perceived as a reserve. I wrote my summer vacation constantly with "A" and we became even closer.

11th-grade things got worse when she started moving constantly with another girl from our group and they started to separate from us, she only talked to me when she wanted to ask me something, she left me alone during the breaks. Now I am closer to another friend from the group, who told me today while we were talking "you are here so that I don't move and hang alone in the corridors in the breaks". Once again I am in this situation where despite all my efforts to be a good friend I always remain used. So my question is will I ever be able to find real friends at all. Do you think it will be better at university? Thank you all in advance for your time and understanding!
